“The fact that this bicentenary is being celebrated globally is a reminder of the transformative impact of Baha’u’llah’s teachings on the lives of individuals, families, communities and neighbourhoods, across Canada and worldwide,” said Hon. Reza Moridi, Ontario Minister of Research, Innovation and Science. He was speaking to the Ontario Legislature on October 25th in an historic recognition and celebration of the life and teachings of Baha’u’llah at the highest levels of government in Canada’s largest province.

Earlier in the day, the National Spiritual Assembly, the national governing council of the Baha’i community, co-hosted a reception in Queen’s Park. A number of Provincial Cabinet Ministers, Members of the Provincial Parliament, guests from civil society, representatives of the National Spiritual Assembly, and of Local Spiritual Assemblies, gathered at the Ontario Legislature to mark the bicentenary of Bahá’u’lláh’s birth. Dr. Moridi was the sponsor and co-host of the reception.
